This. In spades.It is too early to pass judgment, but I don’t have a warm and fuzzy feeling about any of this.
Thankfully, Rutta looks like a diamond.
I think we all were expecting the D to take a step back, but I have to say I'm kinda surprised how far back they are. Rutta has been like the lone, good standout amongst the D-core.
As it stands at this point, Even if Murph is our bottom-paring RHD instead of the Hjammer replacement, Murph should be at least serviceable in the bottom pair, but all-in-all our D has to get much, much tighter.
As of now we have a team SV% of .949. That's going to go down--if you don't think so you're deluding yourself. Right now we're tied for last with Minny in terms of SA/GP, and we're 3rd behind Ottawa and LA for GA/GP. We're 14th for SF/GP, and 4th in GF/GP.
Our O has been damned good--even after Schemaltz got Manwich'ed™ we're still keeping pace. But our goalies have been carrying the backend and the D needs to step it up.
